Smokey’s Sinful Low-Carb Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Cheesecake Bites.

One of our favorite food groups are chocolate and peanut butter. 

 The combination of the 2 are even better and are definitely our slice of Heaven.

We discovered a decadent, rich, and, creamy mix of cream cheese, chocolate, and peanut butter all in one recipe.  They kind of resemble a chocolate peanut butter cup with a cheesecake middle. 

These bites are super yummy and simple to make.

Preparation time was a mere 10-15, while refrigeration time another 50 minutes.

This week’s ingredients were:

• 8 oz. Cream Cheese
• 1 Cup Sweetener
• 6 AmazonBasics Reusable Silicone Baking Cups
• 1 tsp. Vanilla
• 1 pastry brush
• 2 tsp. Coconut Oil
• 3/4^th Cup Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips
• 1/4^th Cup Peanut Butter
• 1/4^th Cup Heavy Whipping Cream

We'll begin today’s recipe by placing our cream cheese into our mixing bowl and softening in our microwave for 1 minute.

We'll then, stir in our sweetener, peanut butter, vanilla, and will beat until thoroughly mixed.  

Now since our cheesecake mixture is finished, we’ll place aside.

Next, we’ll place our chocolate chips and coconut oil in our saucepan and will melt on low for about 5 minutes, or until our chocolate has liquefied. 

We'll then, place our cupcake holders into our cupcake pan. 

We found some silicone cupcake holders, from Amazon, that were easier to use.

Next, we will coat the bottom and sides of each holder with our chocolate, using a brush, and will place in the freezer for 5 minutes.

We'll then, re-coat our cupcake holders with more chocolate to create a thicker coating, surrounding our cheesecake bites. 

We'll then reinsert our cupcake holders back into our freezer for an additional 10 minutes.

Now, it’s time to fill each cupcake holder 3/4ths of the way to the top with our cheesecake mixture.

After all our cheesecake cups have been filled, we’ll cover them with our remaining chocolate syrup, and will again place in our freezer for another 20 minutes..

  If your chocolate has begun to thicken, merely return it to the burner for a minute or two to re-melt.

I think the longest part of this recipe is the freezer time.  😆

Believe it or not, our bites of chocolate peanut butter decadence is ready for our consumption!!

We could not believe how absolutely yummy are these PB cheesecake bites and actually think we'll be making a double batch next time. 

The chocolate melts in our mouths just in time to take a bite of our creamy peanut butter cheesecake center.

This is definitely a recipe we'll be saving for the our future cook book.  

From our kitchen to yours

~ Enjoy!
